This was our final meeting for 2024. The meeting had 36 members present. Angela would like to thank the staff, on behalf of MOEBA, at the Dorchester Library for all their support for our meetings.

Angela Cox is stepping down as the MOEBA club president at the end of this year. Our new club president was voted in at this meeting and we look forward to starting 2025 with Kevin Dolan. Kevin stated “Angela has been the glue that has held things together through covid and beyond and has put in countless hours working for all the members of the association. I look forward to working with Angela as the past President and tapping her many resources as we move on.”

Topics covered were:

Thank you to all the members that brought honey, candles and homemade items to donate to the holiday gift basket we are giving the Library staff.

To all our members have a very Merry Christmas and a successful beekeeping season in 2026!
